Pic #1: Thank you Rooneys for the Spider Man present! He loves it! There is silly string all over our yard from his webs!

Pic#3: Nolan winding up for a pitch
We had a busy baseball weekend with my folks in town. Thomas had a good game Saturday morning. The kids are beginning to learn that there are positions to play, instead of all of them swarming over the ball. Thomas had some good hits and tried for a play at first even.
Nolan played first base most of his game, but pitched the last inning. It got exciting when he hit a ball way out int he outfield and brought in 2 runners. He ran to third base and kept going. The pitcher started running towards him at homeplate to get him out. There was a discrepancy whether he got tagged before or after he touched the base, so they compromised and sent him back to 3rd base. He did make it home though. He had a triple and 2 singles that game. And he's made the newspaper 3 times now! The most exciting news is he went to a Pitch, Hit and Run Competition after his game. I guess he got points depending on how fast he ran, how close he came to the strike zone, etc. And he won! He tied in the pitching category with another player. So now he goes to Saratoga this coming Saturday for another round. I think they keep weeding out players, and then the eventual winners get to go to the All Star game in St. Louis. We're so proud of him that he's trying so hard and just loves it so much.
It was great to see my folks and have a nice warm weekend, at least Saturday. Next weekend is Niska Day so hopefully it will be nice weather then too. I just wish it wasn't so busy! I keep wearing my turtle necklace to remind myself to slow down.
